Merit Medical Launches Prelude Snap Splittable Sheath Introducer

The Prelude Snap is easier to break, approximately 33 percent easier than competitors. An easier-to-break sheath can minimize harsh movements of the lead during removal and help ensure leads stay in place.

The device was also designed with patients in mind, and features a smooth, seamless sheath-to-dilator transition to reduce vessel trauma and provide ease of vessel insertion.
